settings Actor

Actors run on our serverless computing platform to enable the creation of custom web
scraping and automation jobs.

Use headless Chrome and Puppeteer

Apify provides first-class support for running headless Chrome
jobs using
Puppeteer.
You only need to select the appropriate base image for your act
and then call the launchPuppeteer()
function provided by the apify
NPM package.

Host your code on GitHub

The source code of your Apify actors can be hosted directly on
Apify, as well as on GitHub, Docker Hub or in fact anywhere on the
internet. Your actor can be automatically built and published on every push to Git.
It only takes a few clicks to move your existing project to Apify
and publish it in the library for anyone
to use it!

Go beyond traditional serverless platforms

Unlike traditional serverless computing platforms, the
run of an Apify actor is not time-limited. Actors can run for as long as
necessary, even forever. An actor can perform anything from a simple
action, such as sending an email or cropping an image, to complex
operations such as crawling an entire website and removing
duplicates from a large dataset.

Inteligent IP Rotation

Proxy servers are rotated automatically for every request
using a semi-random algorithm which selects the least used
proxy server for the requested hostname. This method ensures
that traffic is directed through an unpredictable sequence of
proxy servers while at the same time each server is not used too many times.
Sessions with fixed proxy servers are also available.

Health monitoring

We continuously monitor the health of our proxy servers, discard any servers
with issues from our pool and automatically replace them for our users. This
method drastically increases the stability of our service when compared to
traditional manual solutions. We also offer custom host monitoring where we
periodically check if target host blocks a proxy server which is then
immediately discarded to prevent failures.

Customizable

We work with multiple providers and offer custom solutions for your use cases.
We can provide different locations from around the world, select the best proxies
for your project, and you can also use your own proxy servers with our proxy
rotation and health checking.
